The record in the case states that the bakery also refused to sell cupcakes when it found out that they were for a same sex wedding. How is selling cupcakes participating in a wedding?
Same principle.... If you know your labor is going to be used for something you don't support, you have every right to refuse service.
This is fundamental business law. And part of the reason for that is because you can actually be punished by the law if your goods and services are knowingly used for things that are against the law.
You're also ignoring the key point. Did they or did they not always sell their goods and services to gays? They did.
Thus, by definition, it cannot be claimed they broke the anti-discriminatory laws. Their refusal of service was for a subset subject matter, not the "persons" in question.
Again, I go back to a previous example I've given. People have a right to Porn, but a Construction company can't be "forced" to build a Porn Shop simply because they do construction. Same kinda thing. Cake or Construction, you can't be forced to use your labor or goods on things you don't support.
